Hi there!
how to connect with a plex media server that is running in Openmediavault (docker)?
I donā€™t have a claim code ā€¦
Any help?

? You donā€™t connect to a Plex serverā€¦ this IS a Plex serverā€¦

Yes Frank, it is ā€¦
It is a local server, running on the same network ā€¦ the only problem is how to have a claim code ā€¦
I looked around but it seems there is no way to obtain such a code. Where should I look at?
Many thanks :slight_smile:

It is described in the add-on documentation.

Please note, it adds another serverā€¦ it does not connect with your existing server.

Ok, sorry ā€¦ seems I misunderstood something. Will have another read at the documentation ā€¦
Is then possible to share the same contents between the two servers?

No, Plex doesnā€™t offer such a thing.

OK, many thanks for the time and explanation. Have a good day :vulcan_salute:t2:

Hi there!

If I understood well, Add-ons cannot use external usb storage with a native Hassio installation (HassOS), so I guess this Plex Add-on only makes sense when you have full control of the host (e.g. Raspbian + Docker + Hassio) to mount an external HDD where to place all the media files.

Am I right or I missed something?

P/S: Iā€™ve just finished my native Hassio installation on a RPi3, so I have to start again with Raspbianā€¦ :pensive:

Thanks for all your work on this addon @frenck , any chance of getting an addon update to latest plex from a few weeks ago if itā€™s not too difficult? Would just like to try out the Live TV integration which is free at the moment!

How
i am nevby

@frenck Could this solution work for the plex addon to access an external drive or NAS ?

Is there a build-in feature, which allows me to force medie files-update, for a specific libraries? (In the component):thinking: Or do i need to create my own script, for such action?

Not currently in the Plex integration, but it shouldnā€™t be difficult to add. Iā€™ll put it in the feature request list.

Was this ever a thing? Controlling a different Plex Server in HA? My end goal is to get Plex data into Grafana (Add-On in HA). Currently poking around with Plex > Varken > InfluxDB > Grafana, but Plex is on a completely separate machine (Win 2019 Server) from HA (Ubuntu 18.04), and I would like to keep it as such. Getting tripped up on how to get data from one to another. Thinking if I can get the Plex Server managed by HA, data will be in HA already, just pull into InfluxDB > Grafana from there. Maybe?

Has anyone figured out a solution to mount drive to Hass on Pi so we can use it as a Plex server? It works great even at 4k, but my sd card can only hold 1 episode lol

No, I chose to use the Plex container directly instead of this add-on and use the Portainer add-on to create and maintain the container, in which I was able to mount a drive for the Plex container. Not on Pi, but should be the same.
